An Impending Crisis in Indiana

A terrible tumult stirs the rock.rlbbed
Democracy Of Indiana. New dangers
threaten the faithful ballot box suffers,
with whose vested rights the late Demo-
cratic jury in indianapolis refused to in
terfere. The edlct has gone forth from
Washington; they must be sacrificed to save
the good name and the reelection Of the
administration.
The incidents which have Inspired this
new exhibition Of zeal against the criminals
are interesting. Indiana is u pivotal state.
since Senator Harrison carried IL last year
and then lost the senatorship by theft, 1t
msy be regarded as too pivotal for the
Democratic peace Of mind. The discharge
of the election offenders was a shock to the
Mugwump end OF the Cleveland combina-
tion. That select and elevated gentry had
Kicked politely with their patent leather
tees against the appointment Of peRitentiary
graduates to federal offices. They had
written highly perfumed notes of protest
against clean sweep. Then, as usual,
they subsided, because, having no political
home OF their own to fly to, 1t was best for
them to eat little Objectionable bird f,r
the sake of great opportunity for further
mischief to party than which they and Mr.
Cleveland were so much better.
But the release OF the election thieves was
beyond even the patience OF the Indiana
Mugwump. He brought his grievance to
Washington, saying TO Mr.. Cleveland;
"Hcre we are again. Now, Anally, you can
take us or the ballot thieves" " Mr.. CloVe-
land counted the two wings. 1t was a

An Unprecedented Holiday Rush at tho
New York ONCE.


NEW YORK, Dec. 27.-Postmaster Pearson
erorts that the pressure OF work at the
postofllce resulting from the increasein the
quantity and bulk OF mail matter, which is
one of the usual features OF the holiday sea-
son, has been largely in excess Of that ex.
perienced in former years, aud this notwith-
standing the decadence of the custom OF
sending Christmas cards by mail. In the
domestic distribution division alone, during
the forty.eight hours covering the heaviest
rush Of Christmas work-from Friday
morning to Sunday morning., 1856, ,G2l
pieces of matter were handled, OF which
l,349, 12l were letters, 720,sll papers, 163,.
0G0 circulars, and l4,500 merchandise.
The holiday money-order business, both
foreign aud domestic, has this year shown
marked increase over former years. The
steamers Trave aud Aurania, which sailed
on the l4th and 18th instant, respectively,
carried much larger number OF money
orders than any two steamers that ever
saied for Europe bearing Christmas gifts
Of that kind.
To the United Kingdom of Great Britain
and Ireland 1921 orders, amounting 20
SlG3,2Io, were sent, while "good cheetn
was carried to 1880 souls In continental
Europe by means OF an equal number OF
money orders, aggregating SlT3,71l.
BY the foreign steamers which arrived on
Saturday ,2s2 sacks of mail were received
of which the Britanic brought s14-the
largest mail ever brought to this port. On
the same day 167 sacks Of mail were made
up and dispatched, $50 OF them containing
mail matter from New York city alone.
The market for postage stamps, postal
cards, and envelopes also showed the inilu
ence Of the festive season, the sales on the
oath amounting to SCI, ,s77, of which 50 ,OJt
was for 2.cent stamps. This Is the larges,
amount Of an aggregation OF small amoua
sales sold In one day since the reduction o
letter postage from to , cents.

Austria. Hungary the yield Of wheat for tue
year 1887 is estimated 10 amount to l11,-
00O, COO bushels, an Increase of nearly 25 per
cent. over the average yield of that ooun-
try, while 125, 600, 600 bushels is the esti.
mated yield Of rye--also considerable iu-
crease. The crop Of oats, however, is
hardly sufficient to cover the home de-
mand. In Russia rye has yielded an aver.
age crop; barley is of excellent quality, but
the crop OF oats is poor, and the prospect
Of potatoes not very promising. In the
Scandinavian countries the average amount
OF wheat is produced, but rye and oats fall
fer below the average.
The wheat crop OF Italy is POOR, and the
import demand OF the country for the
cereal will amount to about $4,000, 900
bushels. The corn crop Is above the aver
age, and the country will have surplus
for export. The wheat crops OF Swltzer-
land ard Holland are above the average,
while that Of northern Russia is below.
The wheat crop Of France IL large, but
considerable quantity Of wheat must be i'm
ported to meet the home demand, as the
quantity in store is very limited. In Great
Britain and Ireland an average wheat crop
OF 32 TO 81 bushels per acre is expected,
against yield Of 26 s. bushels In 1886. The
total yield is estimated at from 9,500,00)
to 10,OC0,0 GOO quarters, 60 that after deduct
ing the seed, S,500,000 to 5000, 900
quarters will be left for home con.
sumption, and the importation of from
16,500,C00 TO 1900, 900 quarters will be re-
quired. The English wheat In store !s be
leved 10 be very nearly exhausted, and the
foreign wheat In store IN Eogland qnite
limited. Barley will yield 10 per cent less
than the usual average; oats, 10 per cent.
less, and beans and peas from 40 to so per
| cent. less. Potatoes are healthy, but the
crop will be small.
In British India the area cultivated in
wheat is estimated OF about 20, 000,0 900 odd
acres and the average yield of wheat at
| 7,l35,000 tons. The Yield for 1857 is esti-
mated at G,390,G05 tons. From January /
to June 30, 1887, British India exported to
Europe 9,G19,516 cwt. of wheat. The ex.
